If someone asks who is the greatest general in modern age (i.e. not ancient or medieval), most people will say Napoleon.
If someone says Wellington (or Blucher or Suvorov) the person is likely to be British (or German or Russian). A Korean will usually say Yi Sunshin.
If someone asks who is the greatest singer to come out from Korea, most of the world will say BTS, some Southeast Asian countries will say BlackPink, and only one country out of the 200 odd countries in the world will say IU.
Whyknock was disappointed to see so many celebs in IU's concert, and (other than KPop figures workin in Korea) none of them came from outside of Korea.
The following people came to see IU
(Regulars like Yoo Inna, Kim Soohyun, Lee Junki, etc are excluded. List not exhaustive)
First Day
New Jeans, concert guest
Yoo Jaesuk, Park Myungsoo, Yang Sechan
Second Day
Riize, concert guest
Tang Wei
Kim Minseok, actor (there are a few Kim Minseoks and this one was the actor)
Kim Seonah, not the more famous one but a younger actress (who sometimes used the name Namkyung)
Gyubin
Cherry B
Third Day
Le Sserafim, concert guests
Lee Junyoung, actor
Secret Number's Minji
So Juyeon, actress
Oh Euisik, actor
Brown Eyed Girls' Jea
Jun Hyunmoo
Go Minsi, actress
some child actors who played with the 1,345 years old
Fourth Day
Park Bogum, concert guest
Rothy
Sean, probably Sean of Jinusean
Twice's Nayeon and Dahyun (it is said that Tzuyu and Jungyeon were there too, although not the J-Line. If they show up when the Senior Singer goes to Japan, Whyknock will be quite upset.)
Children of IU's bodyguard
Children who appeared in the Holssi music video
It is said that aespa's Winter was also there. Without the mess around her relationship, it is likely that Karina would have also appeared. Of course no mention of Kim Hyungseo, who remains defiant.
So the only important act standing firm against the Senior Singer seems to be IVE who had some other event on these days.
Which might be why KPop still remains stagnant because a nonKPopper wields so much influence.
====
The first act who would have had a concert both at the Olympic Stadium and the Soccer Stadium will not be a KPopper.
After the trottist Lim Youngwoong and then Seventeen, the 1,345 years old will be the first female to have a concert at the Soccer Stadium in Seoul, and also the very first singer who had concerts in both the Olympic Stadium and the Soccer Stadium.
Whyknock is having spasms after hearing that news.
That makes the Senior Singer the first singer to have gone thru all major venues of Seoul, except the Gochuck which was not there when she debuted (and she did have her Gayo Daejun perf there, making Onces wait for 4 hours in freeing cold because her practice took forever).
It seems reverence of the domesticist, except by Laboum, Suran, both of them no longer active, and Bibi, has reached a newer level.
That can only mean the regression of Kpop.
